Sanchez proves nightmare for Guida, Pearson and Wilks capture "TUF" crowns at TUF 9 Finale
LAS VEGAS - UFC lightweight Diego Sanchez (21-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) has made some bold claims in recent weeks.
On Saturday night, in the main event of The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, "Nightmare" went out and backed up those claims.
In a hyper-paced, blood-soaked, 15-minute, instant-classic contest that had enough action to make Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar blush, Sanchez grinded out a split-decision win over a more-than-game Clay Guida (25-10 MMA, 5-4 UFC). Read more

Cotto-Clottey preview! By Roger G
Everything leading up to the June 13th clash between Miguel Cotto (33-1, 27 Kos) and Joshua Clottey (35-2, 20 Kos) has been about respect.
